"'Seether' is a song about anger and trying to be a good girl and keeping your anger under wraps, but you can't and it comes out in songs and in relationships, etc.," Veruca Salt's singer-guitarist Nina Gordon told Download.com.

But she and co-vocalist-guitarist Louise Post were also encouraging women to express their authentic selves with their breakthrough track. "That was sort of the point of the song," Gordon added. "At that time, I think a lot of women felt, 'I don't want to just stand here and look pretty and sing pretty songs. I wanna scream. I wanna use the stage as my battlefield.' There were so many of us who enjoyed doing that, and I think that that's a very important outlet for all of us."

But anger also drove a wedge between the singer-guitarists, and Gordon left Veruca Salt in 1998, after the release of the group's sophomore album, "Eight Arms to Hold You," featuring "Volcano Girls," the opening song from teen comedy film "Jawbreaker." Making up in 2013, the two reunited with the other members of the quartet's original lineup, drummer Jim Shapiro and bassist Steve Lack, for the recording of 2015's "Ghost Notes."

"We do not take this lightly," Post said about the reunion. "We see the importance of this in our own lives and the reverberation of it among our fans. Now that we've come back together, I can really appreciate that for some kids, it felt like their parents splitting up, and we appreciate the enormity of that."

Fitbit

It's not very rock 'n' roll, but I also use Fitbit, because I track all my steps. You can set a goal and walk like 10,000 steps a day. The wristband vibrates and you can check in on all the steps you've taken. I'm kind of obsessed with it.

Facebook

It's been great to gauge the level of enthusiasm of our audience and our fans and to get a sense of the proportions of the impact we've made on people's lives, which was better than we could have ever fathomed.
